The CTU central library subscirbes the new information sources and makes the Writefull tool available
New informational sources Bookport, Statistu, ASTM and magazine Science is available from the beginning of the year 2021.
The Writefull software is available for language proofreading of english texts from the beginning of February 2021 till the end of the year 2022.
The tool works as an addition tool to editors as MS Word or Overleaf (LaTeX). Also it is possible to use this tool in web browsers. Also it is not linked to the CTU network, so it is accesible from wherever you are. The registration must be from your CTU mail adress.
Try Quantum programming during one-week course
Today begins the course called QBronze52 - Quantum Computers and programming.

To prove quantum supremacy, Chinese scientists used a problem formulated at the Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering of CTU in Prague
To demonstrate the so-called quantum supremacy of a quantum computer based on photons, Chinese scientists used a solution to a computational problem formulated at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FNSPE). Specifically, the Gaussian Boson Sampling protocol, developed by Craig Hamilton and Igor Jex of the FNSPE and their partners, the group of Christine Silberhorn of the University of Paderborn (FRG). The research team of the Chinese University of Science and Technology published a report on the results on December 3, 2020 in the journal Science.
Academic fission reactor VR-1 has served at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering CTU in Prague for 30 years
For 30 years, the academic fission reactor VR-1 has served students from the Czech Republic and abroad, but it is also used for research activities. The reactor is operated by the Department of Nuclear Reactors of the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering (FNSPE) of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The VR-1 reactor reached the so-called first critical state on December 3, 1990 at 4:25 p.m. However, preparations for its construction began in 1982.
